WINTER SPORTS HONORS Talented teams, competitive players, and great matchups

There were several highlights of the Seven Hills winter sports season. Some student athletes traveled to state tournaments and all of our teams had great matchups. Congratulations to our athletes and coaches who made the winter 2022-23 sports season successful!

The boys and girls varsity bowling teams both made history this season. The boys won the sectional tournament for the first time and senior Shanaya Bharucha competed at the state tournament. The boys won the Miami Valley Conference for the fourth consecutive year, with an undefeated in-conference record of 14-0. The girls won the MVC for the first time, having only one inconference loss all season.

For swimming, sophomore Josie Schneider, freshman Colin McNerney and the 200 and 400 freestyle relay teams of Schneider, seniors Josie Domet and Carolyn Wolujewicz, and sophomore Raine Ellerman competed at the state tournament. The swimming Stingers had numerous wins at the sectional tournament.

Schneider won the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke, Domet won the 50 freestyle, Ellerman won the 100 freestyle, and McNerney won the 200 freestyle. The relay team won the 200 and 400 freestyle races.

The boys varsity basketball team had an impressive run in the post-season, beating two higher ranked teams, including the #1 seed, to win the sectional tournament. The Stingers advanced to districts. Coach Willie Hill had his 200th career win this season and was inducted into the Seven Hills Athletics Hall of Fame. For the girls varsity basketball team, the Stingers had a 15-5 overall record and a 10-2 in-conference record, earning second place in the MVC Gray Division.

In its first year in existence, the boys varsity squash team joined the girls varsity squash team, in only its second year, at the U.S. High School Squash Championships in Philadelphia. Both teams earned wins at nationals and had excellent showings.

Stinger gymnasts sophomore Evie Ferguson and senior Cat McAndrew had great performances at the City Championship for gymnastics, earning a ninth place finish. Ferguson finished 28th in the all-around and McAndrew finished 30th on bars.

The hard work, enthusiasm, and Stinger spirit of the cheer squads kept the atmosphere high in Kalnow Gym and on the road during the boys and girls basketball games. Congrats, Stingers!
